Wednesday Coffeehouse: Carly Simon

Daughter of Simon & Schuster, Inc. co-founder, Richard Simon, Carly Simon grew up with music in her home. Her dad played classical music on the piano; her mom, Andrea Louise Simon, was a singing civil rights activist.

Carly first hit the music charts in the mid-‘60s with a minor hit she sang with her sister, Lucy called Winkin’, Blinkin’, and Nod. In the early ‘70s she hit the charts on her own with That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be. Shortly thereafter she married fellow singer/songwriter, James Taylor.

Carly has won numerous awards, including Grammy Awards for her debut album, Carly Simon, Boys In The Trees, In Harmony (A Sesame Street Record), and Let The River Run. She won an Academy Award and a Golden Globes Award for Let The River Run.

Without further words, I introduce to you one of my favorite artists, Carly Simon, singing some of my—hey! It is my coffeehouse!—songs.

That’s the Way I’ve Heard It Should Be

Haven’t Got Time for the Pain

You’re So Vain

Night Owl

Legend in Your Own Time

All the audios at Nick’s Coffeehouse come from my own collection.

Be cool. You ain’t got no place to go. Have another cuppa joe. You dig?

I followed the link from The Troubadour Tribune here. Thank you for featuring Carly Simon. I have taken a brief look at your previous Coffeehouses. Wow! I may spend the reaminder of the afternoon visiting them. And, I shall be back next Wednesday.
